FILM director Neil Alderton paid a return visit to Newfield School, in Blackburn, to pass on some tricks of his trade.

He visited the school earlier in the year with his crew to film part of the Are You Being Serviced? series, which highlighted the work of Blackburn with Darwen Council and is currently being aired on ITV.

Teacher Alex Walker said: "When he came earlier in the year he offered to come back and give a talk to the pupils. He was very informative and friendly and the children enjoyed it tremendously.

"He spoke to them about the different sorts of equipment he uses and what goes into making a film. There was also a lively question and answer session."
